Engineering

My story is that of endless curiosity.

Early in my childhood, I gained notoriety for wrecking and then eventually fixing things while trying to understand how they worked. When I was about nine years old, my mom brought our very first computer home for her work. It wasn't long before I had managed to break it. After I broke it the third time, my mom took me along with the computer to the repair shop, and left me there for a few hours. What happened next changed my life. Watching the technicians the entire day as they repaired this and other computers was a dream-come-true for me. Soon after, I was able to fix the computer on my own, learning from things like autoexec.bat file that the technicians had written.

That was my introduction to programming.

Fast forward a few years later and my curiosity led me to become a programmer but also to learn playing the violin, drums and the piano, learn obscure languages and delve into astrophotography.

My curiosity drives me. My curiosity defines me.

My curiosity is what brought me to DevRev, and I continue to enjoy the journey of learning new things every day.
